▶️ Guest: Ingrid Barbosa-Farias, Founder of SimAtomic🎙 Hosts: Sura Hadi, Mike Ouren & Elizabeth Rodziewicz📻 This episode of AI Thought Leaders dives into the powerful intersection of molecular simulations and AI - and how one founder is using smarter algorithms to accelerate drug discovery and reduce R&D costs by up to 200x.Ingrid Barbosa-Farias shares her journey from biotech bench scientist to founder of SimAtomic, a no-code platform making molecular dynamics simulations accessible to everyone - not just elite pharma labs. We explore how generative models are replacing traditional docking, what makes collagen so hard to model, and why reasoning-based AI could change medicine forever.🔹 What SimAtomic is doing to democratize simulation🔹 $100 in GPU = $20,000 saved in the lab🔹 Why smarter models overtakes more data🔹 Simulating entire cells - and beyond🔹 The dark side of AI’s “black box” problem🔹 How founders and individuals can compete with Big Pharma🔹 And yes… the AI model that says “It’s a T cell” every time🍻 Whether you're building a biotech company, training models, or just wondering what AI can really do in drug discovery - this one’s for you.🎧 Subscribe for more episodes, expert breakdowns, and behind-the-scenes stories from the future of science:https://linktr.ee/helicalbrew🔔 Subscribe & Like if you’ve ever had an AI give you a hilariously wrong answer.⏱️ EPISODE CHAPTERS - NAVIGATE THE EPISODE00:00 – Cold Open: What if AI could cut drug discovery time in half?00:32 – Welcome to AI Thought Leaders w/ Ingred Barbosa-Farias02:34 – From Biologist to Founder: The Simatomic Origin Story04:12 – What’s New: AI + Molecular Simulations05:22 – Making Simulations Faster with Machine Learning06:39 – Why Simulating Collagen Could Transform Cancer Research07:44 – Real-World Use Cases: Speed + Accuracy with AI08:26 – Docking vs. Dynamics: Explained for Non-Experts09:41 – How Simulations Save $20,000 in Wet Lab Costs12:34 – What’s Holding Back AI in Biology?14:26 – Data Access, IP Walls & Collaboration Barriers18:44 – Are AI-Designed Drugs Almost Here?24:33 – The Need for Logic-Based AI Models27:43 – Can Small Startups Compete in This Space?29:21 – From Sci-Fi to Spock: When AI Reasons Logically35:18 – Simatomic Launch & First Research Collaborations36:57 – Simulating Entire Cells & In Silico Experiments40:03 – Where to Find Simatomic41:30 – Final Thoughts + Outro🌐 Simatomic: https://www.simatomic.com🤖 Helical Brew is where AI meets science and discovery.Subscribe for more episodes from the innovators driving the next wave of biotech, automation, and artificial intelligence.📌 SHORTS (Grab Quick Highlights)▶️ https://youtube.com/shorts/WMOpumVAkQk?feature=share▶️ https://youtube.com/shorts/QLYdKGPhVPk?feature=share#HelicalBrew #AIThoughtLeaders #SimAtomic #DrugDiscovery #MolecularSimulation #AIinBiotech #AlphaFold #SciencePodcast #WomenInSTEM #BiotechInnovation #ViralScience #ViralAI #ViralTech #BiotechStartup #ScienceTalk #PodcastClips #HelicalBrewPodcast #podcast #viralshort #viralvideo #viralvideoshorts #ai #biotech
